******************************************** From the 02/20/01 Alumni Sandstorm ******************************************** >>From: Joanna Faulkner Brown (63) Re: Peanut Butter cookies I saw a request for a good Peanut Butter cookie recipe. My mother was a cafeteria cook and I think she did a lot of the baked goods there. I wouldn't be surprised if she did the big dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls we all remember. I have her recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies and hope you all enjoy: Cream - 1 cup Crisco, 1/2 t. salt, 1 cup peanut butter Add - gradually 1 cup brown sugar (packed), 1 cup gran. sugar Add - 2 eggs, 1 T. milk Sift (I never do) and add - 2 c. flour, 1 t. soda Put on greased cookie sheet in walnut sized chunks; press down with fork tines. (can make them larger if you wish) Bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 min. Can bake them to a light golden brown or leave in oven a little longer for a darker crisper cookie. I think you will find these cookies equal to the cafeteria cookies. Let me know!
